norse-blooded white Europeans (who are the only ones considered to be "human" in WarHammer apparently),
? Cathay is full of non-white humans. And Araby. Tilea kinda too. Nehekara was as well.

And when they give you the average heights and weights for humans in WarHammer, are they basing them on Chinese, African, European or Middle Eastern height and weights?
A lot of fantasy games have that issue when defining a human, the "normal" heights are way too tall to be Chinese and too heavy to be African or Middle Eastern.

In such games they are generally demonstrating the difference between something 'human-sized' (5-6 feet) and something much larger (Troll, Ogre) or much smaller (Goblin, Dwarf). Anyway, they are written from a western perspective so it does make sense that they use western averages on the occasions that they are that detailed, as most of the audience is western. 3, maybe 4 inches difference in average height is hardly 'way too' much. It certainly doesn't indicate some kind of conspiracy.
Either way, I stand by my position that Hobgoblins are probably human sized and if there is any difference, it is roughly the same as the difference between Germans and Chinese.
